    Me either. Kind of getting worried the USPS lost it given I sent it the 18th.

    I sent mine and USPS tracking says delivered a week ago. Maybe some CT members want to stay anonymous?

    I guess this is possible

    Mine shows delivered on the 17th. So maybe they are trying to remain anonymous, or they are out of town, or maybe they just have the most will power of any of us, and plan on opening it next Christmas.

    Dang...I feel bad for not getting up pics yet.

    Just incase my Santa's out there wondering if I got the present...I got it. The package was wrapped in brown paper - I'm thinking a male - with writing on it in black permanent marker.

    Inside was two mint rolls of The Formative Years 2009 pennies, a 43 war nickel, a 73 Ike, a 43 steel penny, a buffalo nickel, and three mint sets in the original packaging and envelopes. I think I named everything...working off memory here.

    Santa - I'm really pleased with my gift! My favorite is the steelie, never owned one before...heck, never seen one before in person.

    My recipient hasn't posted their present so I'm concerned if it arrived or if they liked it.

    Now I'm beginning to wonder if the gift was so horrible, they didn't want me to be embarrassed.:eek: I know I'm cheap, but if you don't like the half roll of circulated zincolns somebody will. JK:D

    Ya - it was really cool. The Ike looks awesome, the steelie appears to be uncirculated and not replated, and the buff was my first!

    The mint sets are really cool...can't remember the years right now but I think one from '68 and two from '73...I think. My poor coins are boxed up right now and can't get at them. Not sure what to do with the pennies yet...but they're cool!

    All the same, thank you Santa! Hope you see this!

    It is the thought that counts and if anybody is unhappy with what they got, they can take a look at what I got and trade me if they want. I will gladly take any gift that was sent because I know that it was sent with the best of intentions and goodwill.

    In my gift one "item" was really kinda a joke but the other - I thought - was really nice and I didn't want to send it ;)

    It sounds like a great gift. You sent humor and something that was hard to part with, but you did because you felt right and good about it.

    I get that from my mother...she liked/s to send joke gifts. It is still cool and not really that funny so it will hopefully be a good gift!

    I haven't had the opportunity but I wanted to thank my Secret Santa for the wonderful bounty of treasure that I received this year. I was kind of done after the lackluster showing of last year with $2 worth of stuff I received but this more than made up for it.

    The booty: A couple 1/4 ounce and 1 gram silver bars, a MS Franklin, some proof quarters, a huge array of foreign and even a $15 gift card to walmart. I'm at a loss for words, awesome stuff!

    Happy New Year ladies and gents!
